Danielle Walls, the San Diego area teacher accused of a bunch of things (sleeping with students, providing them with drugs and alcohol, etc.), was sentenced recently. Walls had pled guilty back in July, and prosecutors say she slept with the 16 year old student 10-25 times at a variety of local hotels. Her sentence:
On Tuesday, Walls was sentenced to one year in jail and will also be on probation for five years. Walls had faced up to five years and six months in prison. She could have been sentenced to as much as 16 years in prison if she had been convicted of all the original charges.
Danielle apologized before sentencing, saying that “at the time of the incidents, she felt that her life didn’t matter”. Pretty sad situation, but really a year isn’t too bad, not when you consider how salacious were the details of this particular case.
